A Close look at our 3 Ranked Class of 2027 Wide Receivers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The first iteration of the 2027 Rankings has three great receivers ranked. Although there aren't many receivers right now, I have a great understanding of the three that are currently ranked. So, lets dive into why these three receivers are the ones that earned being ranked! </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["547739"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Dakota is already a polished, mature, and skilled wide receiver- extremely rare for a freshman. Just off the line of scrimmage, his release is as quick and explosive as I've seen. He gets off the line with tremendous effort and burst. His route running is also good. Dakota runs a lot of deep posts/go/etc. His overall route fundamentals could maybe use some work, but there really isn't a ton of film on him running shorter, more technical routes. However, he's able to find tremendous success sprinting downfield and getting wide-open 20+ yards down the field within a couple of seconds. His speed alone makes him a lethal downfield threat. He's also showed off a great catch radius and the ability to pull in some difficult catches. His open field ability could use a little work, but he has a tremendous foundation. He's difficult to bring down and if you give him any sort of lane, he's gone. He was the obvious pick for #1 overall, and his trajectory is being one of the best ATH/WR prospects in the country.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b199c61d895"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19388168/650c3c8fbee11209b099a5b6' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b199c61d94a"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1157443"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Tyden is a super interesting prospect, and I am super optimistic about his trajectory. His biggest flaws currently are his size and his varsity experience, which he has none. When it comes to size, he's still very small. There's not much you can do about it for the time being, but once he hits that growth spurt he should take off. The reason why he's ranked so high is because of his technical WR skills. His routes are already extremely polished. Tyden is able to stop on a dime and change direction, and he has a huge catch radius for his size. He's been a big-time player in the 7on7 scene for a while, and he did very well last year at our 7on7 tournament in Nashville. He'll be at Caledonia next season, and I expect to see some Varsity production even if his body still isn't where it needs to be. The twitter clip below shows some of his speed and tough catch ability. I have a bit of film of him running good routes, but I can't embed them in here.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b199c61d9ad"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/LegacyYouthFB/status/1495560098877427713","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/LegacyYouthFB/status/1495560098877427713 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["774218"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Another Caledonia receiver, [player_tooltip player_id='774218' first='Lincoln' last='Senti'], spent a lot of time on Varsity this past season. From watching his film and watching him last weekend at Legacy, he just looks like a solid Varsity wide receiver. That said, there isn't a ton that blows me away yet, but he's solid at just about everything across the board. His routes look solid. He has good change of direction for a freshman. His hands also look good. He isn't extremely fast down the field, but he's able to get open and find holes in zone coverage. His height and other measurables, in addition to his Varsity experience, paint a good picture moving forward. As long as he keeps working on improving in all facets, Lincoln will develop into a great Varsity receiver.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b199c61da06"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/hudl {"name":"acf/hudl","data":{"embed_code":"u003ciframe src='https://www.hudl.com/embed/video/3/19727526/65482e06066ba406b4cf104b' width='640' height='360' frameborder='0' allowfullscreenu003eu003c/iframeu003e","_embed_code":"field_62daf7995fd8c"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65b199c61da23"} /-->
